Fine statue of the Goddess of War. The base is a lotus throne with beaded rim. The ten-armed Durga is holding her weapons and ritual objects while standing on her mount and vahana, the tiger. She is slaying and ultimately decapitating the buffalo demon Mahishasura who was known for pursuing his evil deeds by shape-shifting. This scene called Mahishasuramardini Ć¢ā‚¬Å“Crusher of Mahishasuraā€ is a popular theme and has been reproduced in countless murals, manuscript paintings and even contemporary art.
